Magento has a built-in mechanism for currency exchange rates update: automatic rate update, notification about problems during the update, ability to add new data sources via extensions. The only its shortcoming is the only one built-in data source - WebserviceX.
After this service was unavailable for more than one week, we decided to add several alternative data sources.
Extension ET Currency Rate Updater adds new sources for currency exchange rate update:
- European Central Bank (ECB)
- Central Bank of Russia (CBR)
- Google Finance
- Yahoo Finance
Extension features
Compensation rate
You can put some insurance into the currency exchange rate to compensate possible rate fluctuation during the day. Just specify the compensation rate and all prices on your website in non-base currencies will be adjusted accordingly (the extension will receive the exchange rate and change it to the final one taking compensation rate into account). Product price in base currency will not be changed.
Exchange rate freeze
You will have an ability to choose currencies that doesn't need its rate updated.
The most common example: when one of the countries is getting ready to be accepted into euro-zone, it's national currency exchange rate becomes frozen and government institutions supervise if this rate is being followed in product prices. If price is converted wrong, it is highly possible to get fined.
So the extension allows to keep exchange rate for some currencies unchanged.
